PLD any better than WAR?

[Izsha]

This. A warrior that isn't using his hate combo won't keep hate off a paladin OT going full bore.

If the warrior can't use his debuffs, why bother having a warrior?



Rampart is a 90 second recast, 20 second duration, and reduces 20% on both physical and magical.

How is Foresight better?

EDIT: Wait, Foresight is a 90 second recast too with the warrior trait. I still don't see how it's better, though.

I just typo-d the 120. Was thinking about pld. Edited. Also went full derp mode and forgot to use the trait ed 20% rampart instead of the 10. Also edited. Now that 8ve had my coffee lol.

Plds abilities have higher potency, but the short durations and long recast really hurt. Plds regularly have to eat tank buster with 0 cooldowns because they just run out on long fights. T5 at i90 they had to eat some death sentences with no buffs. T9 they had to eat some beaks I'm 1st phases naked and claws in last phase naked. War never has that problem. Ever.

T13 with 5 akh morn (before echo) there are 5 akh morn to wat. 1 is holmganged. 1 is hallowed. 3 are eaten with buffs. Pld has to choose which one to sentinal. War just pops their entire suite for each akh because they are 2:15 apart and every war ability is 2 min or less.

The frequency you can use a skill is a BIG deal. The toolkits are very, very similar. All war abilities are 90 sec to 2 min recast save holmgang and that's only 3 min. Infuriate is 1 min. Sentinel is 3 minutes and only lasts for 10 measly sec. I'll keep my vengence that lasts 50% longer and comes up 33% faster thank you very much.

There is more to the tanking picture than just the %mitigated listed on a skill. In long fights recast and durations are a big frigging deal.
